i just signed up to write this with tears in my eyes:
thank you, thank you, thank all of you. i've found something new about Grim Fandango and i'm utterly grateful to everyone in this thread.

by the way as a humble request;
@the late D. Hurley
can you post (or email me directly if you want) the link to the finished result in a lossless format? (png preferred)
i think i can take care of the hosting by putting it in my dropbox public folder and sharing the link in here, because i want everybody to see this poster in it's hi-res, hi-quality glory.

Progress has been made since I last posted something, but it's still a fair way from completion. As I've said though, I will finish this but when exactly, I'm not sure (probably before GF2 or GFHD are released though!). It's actually harder to do the areas with less detail. I've had to "guess" a lot of the details to maintain a consistent look. Anyway, here's a little preview :

Wow, that's certainly an interesting looking project you've got there! If I can be of any help then I'd love to contribute. I'm just a graphic designer though, I don't have any experience with 3D or anything so I'm not sure how useful I could be...?
